A sermon based on: 'Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head' (Ezek. 17:19).
This is certainly among the best sermons you will hear explaining the basis of biblical covenants, the specifics of covenanting, and God's responses to covenant keepers and covenant breakers.
The portion answering objections to the Solemn League and Covenant is just classic! If you didn't know that Guthrie was addressing objections during his day (this sermon was originally delivered in 1663) you would think that this message was preached just yesterday -- for most of the objections are still common in our day.
This sermon is read by ruling elder Lyndon Dohms from the book Sermons in Times of Persecution in Scotland, by Sufferers for the Royal Prerogatives of Jesus Christ.
John Guthrie's older brother was William Guthrie, author of The Christian's Great Interest (which book also contains a fine chapter 'Concerning Personal Covenanting With God in Christ'). John Guthrie was ejected 'on that memorable year (1660--RB) in which about 400 ministers (in Scotland--RB) were thrust from their charges because they could not recognize the unscriptural authority claimed by the king, and consent to the overthrow of the covenanted constitution of the nation' (Sermons..., p. 659).
